depending on what you mean...

others has mentioned desktop mode...

if you want to open a bunch of marked files in dired, put

(require 'dired-x)

in your .emacs then you can
Alt+x dired-x and dired-do-find-marked-files.

If you have a list of paths, you can create this text

(find-file "path1")
(find-file "path2")
...

then select them then Alt+x eval-region.
